Their economic acumen is such that they are making $0 on these Steve Albini sessions that they just released. If you want to know how In On the Killtaker would have sounded with Steve at the panel then you'll need to help transform disadvantaged peoples' lives

People forget that the average Minor Threat ticket was $2,735. That’s why they could afford the $5 fugazi ones.

I wish I could enjoy this photo, but I was playing basketball at that gym the next day and missed a free throw because the hoop was slightly bent. That was the end of my NBA dreams.
Brilliant album full of top songs that I bought on its release day and still regularly play.
Here’s my UK vinyl version album and inner sleeve cover.

The best news!!!
36 years ago today. Drove through a snowstorm from Chicago to Indiana skipping skool to see Ministry for the 2nd time (first was NYE at the RIV) on ‘The Mind is A Terrible Thing to Taste’ Slept in the ‘76 Pontiac Catalina after the show was over. Life altering. Here it is:

Gary Gygax and Gabe Newell invented the Linux kernel while working at NeXT, named that because they enjoyed popcorn so much. Steve Jobs tricked them into giving it away for free by saying it was Opposite Day, but in the process invented the GPL license used later for wegovy.
So I kind of figured it’d be amazing to watch but man this really is different. She’s so relaxed. She’s visibly having so much fun. She’s not fighting for a medal here. She’s just playing her favorite game
Ray Manzarek with X
Besides his work with The Doors, Manzarek produced the first four X albums.
Sidestep -> Manzarek would have turned 87 the day before yesterday.

February 9, 1974: Iggy Pop & The Stooges played their last concert at the Michigan Palace in Detroit.
Pop taunted and insulted the audience throughout the entire show and was pelted with ice cubes, eggs, and beer bottles.
The band broke up for the first time a few weeks later.
Age verification?
I remember when airplanes had a haze of cigarette smoke in the cabin.

I used to watch H.R. Pufnstuf and The Banana Splits reruns…

Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵
“I’m mad I can’t understand Bad Bunny’s lyrics because they’re not in English”
my brother millions of metalheads around the world have been happily listening to incomprehensible Finnish shrieks and Japanese death grunts since we were teens, you’re just boring and racist
A worn box with a green printed label: "15 day course / VITA RADIUM SUPPOSITORIES / Guaranteed to contain Real Refined Radium and to be perfectly harmless. / The Home Products Co. Denver, Colorado."
A brown glass vial with a cork and a label that reads, "RADITHOR / CERTIFIED RADIOACTIVE WATER / Contains Radium and Mesothorium in a Triple Distilled Water"
Every time I see "AI" being crammed into another consumer product I think of how in the 50s we put radium in suppositories because "the atom" was the snakeoil hype of the moment
Seems about right. I’ll take it.
I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself!

I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail
I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.
